FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE

CORPORATION

Draft 1998–2003 Strategic Plan

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance

Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Request for comment.

BACKGROUND: In accordance with the

Government Performance and Results

Act of 1993, the FDIC is soliciting for

consideration the views and suggestions

of stakeholders potentially affected by

or interested in the FDIC’s strategic

plan.

The draft strategic plan covers the sixyear period 1998 through 2003 and

provides a framework for implementing

the agency’s mission of contributing to

stability and public confidence in the

nation’s financial system. This is

accomplished through the FDIC’s three

major program areas—Insurance,

Supervision, and Receivership

Management—that work to achieve the

following results:

• Protection of insured depositors

from loss, without recourse to taxpayer

funding,

• Safety and soundness of insured

depository institutions,

• Protection of consumers’ rights and

the investment by FDIC-supervised

institutions in their communities, and

• Recovery to creditors of

receiverships.

The plan can be reviewed on the

FDIC’s website, http://www.fdic.gov, in

the ‘‘About FDIC’’ section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated June

18, 1998, the President declared a major

disaster under the authority of the

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.

5121 et seq.), as follows:

I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of Florida, resulting

from extreme fire hazards beginning on May

25, 1998, and continuing, is of sufficient

severity and magnitude to warrant a major

disaster declaration under Title IV, Section

401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief

and Emergency Assistance Act, P.L. 93–288,

as amended (‘‘the Stafford Act’’). I, therefore,

declare that such a major disaster exists in

the State of Florida.

You are hereby authorized to coordinate

with other Federal agencies to provide any

form of direct Federal assistance which you

deem appropriate for required emergency

measures, authorized under the Stafford Act,

to save lives, protect property and public

health and safety, and lessen or avert the

threat of a catastrophe in the designated

areas. In addition, you are authorized to

provide such other forms of assistance under

the Stafford Act as you may deem

appropriate.

In order to provide Federal assistance, you

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds

available for these purposes, such amounts as

you find necessary for Federal disaster

assistance and administrative expenses.

Consistent with the requirement that Federal

assistance be supplemental, any Federal

funds provided under the Stafford Act will

be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible

costs.

The time period prescribed for the

implementation of section 310(a),

Priority to Certain Applications for

Public Facility and Public Housing

Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for

a period not to exceed six months after

the date of this declaration.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant

to the authority vested in the Director of

the Federal Emergency Management

Agency under Executive Order 12148, I

hereby appoint Paul W. Fay of the

Federal Emergency Management Agency

to act as the Federal Coordinating

Officer for this declared disaster.

I do hereby determine the following

areas of the State of Florida to have been

affected adversely by this declared

major disaster:

FEMA has been authorized to coordinate

with other Federal agencies to provide any

form of direct Federal assistance appropriate

for required emergency measures, authorized

under the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect

property and public health and safety, and

lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in

the counties of Brevard, Columbia, Duval,

Flagler, Putnam, Seminole, St. Johns and

Wakulla.
